Once again, some of my favorite bloggers are hosting Silhouette Cameo giveaways!! You should hop over to their blogs and enter to win. Think you'll never win? Well, you're wrong, because it happened to me last month!! (OK, I didn't win the Cameo, but I won the Cameo tote from I Heart Naptime and it's awesome!!)

I have a glitter secret! I love glitter? No, that's no secret. I know how to glitter something in 60 seconds with absolutely no sticky mess? Yes! That's my secret! Want to know how?

Just run whatever you want to glitter facedown through a Xyron Create-a-Sticker, unstick the backing, and sprinkle on your glitter. Voila! It's the ultimate cheater's method of glittering!

Tips: (1) remember to put the object face down so you don't glitter the wrong side; (2) burnish the object really well before peeling the object off the backing to ensure the adhesive evenly coats the object and be sure to peel the object off the backing in slow motion - if you rip it off quickly you might get "holes" in your adhesive coating.

Don't have have a Xyron? You should get one! The best price I've found on machines and refills is on Amazon. It's kind of an expensive set up, so I only use mine when I am feeling extra lazy. But on those days when I just don't have the energy to mess with other adhesives, it is totally worth it.
